Primal Desire - Part 1

"Good girl"

His hand slid between her thighs.

The moment he felt her arousal, a dark smile crossed his face.

"Look at you."

His fingers traced teasingly between her legs.

"Already soaked."

The humiliation in his voice only made her ache more.

She pushed back instinctively.

Seeking more.

Needing more.

-----------------------------------------

Just a teaser prelude for what's coming 😉😈.......

-----------------------------------------

Chloe gazed into the flickering campfire, the warmth of the flames dancing across her face while the cool night air brushed against her skin.

She took a slow sip of wine and glanced around the campsite. Sunset had painted the sky in deep oranges and fading golds, and despite the chill, the evening felt perfect.

Her best friend Sophie had spent nearly a month convincing her to come on the trip, and now that she was here, Chloe was glad she'd given in.

It felt good to reconnect with people she'd known for years but gradually drifted away from.

Alongside Chloe and Sophie were three long-time guy friends.

None of them were hard on the eyes, but neither Sophie or Chloe had ever considered any of them as anything more than friends.

Sam and Dean were both on the nerdier side, while Jace had always seemed like the polite, respectful, dependable type.

Plain.

Predictable.

Vanilla.

Chloe was soon to discover, just how much she'd misjudged them..

As afternoon faded into evening, they all sat around the fire. Conversation flowed easily, helped along by a few drinks and Sophie's naturally playful personality.

She had a way of turning even the most innocent conversation into cheeky banter.

A few glasses of wine only amplified that talent.

Sophie, in her mid-thirties, was a few years older than Chloe. Her long red hair, infectious smile, and curvy figure drew attention wherever she went.

Chloe, petite with blonde hair and bright blue eyes, possessed her own mischievous charm. When the two of them got together, trouble usually followed.

As the night wore on, the three guys gradually excused themselves and headed to their tents.

Eventually, only Chloe and Sophie remained beside the fire.

"So..." Sophie said, lifting her wine glass and raising an eyebrow teasingly "How are things with Karl?"

Chloe rolled her eyes dramatically.

"Well, that ended quickly."

Sophie laughed.

"Too vanilla?"

"You could say that."

Sophie groaned knowingly.

"No dominant side whatsoever," Chloe continued.

"Mhm. Seems we both have terrible luck. Wherever the good ones are hiding, they're definitely not on the everyday dating sites"

The women laughed.

A comfortable silence settled between them before Chloe shook her head.

"Honestly? All I want is to be firmly grabbed. Like... how difficult is that?"

Her voice carried a teasing edge, but Sophie caught the frustration underneath.

Chloe smirked.

"Well... That's definitely not *all* that I want."

The emphasis made Sophie lean forward immediately, an eyebrow raised..

"Oh? Do tell."

Chloe bit her lip.

"You can't tell anyone."

Sophie grinned mischievously.

"I swear."

Chloe lowered her voice.

"My fantasies are maybe a little out there.. to some anyway"

Sophie's eyes sparkled.

"Now I'm definitely interested"

Chloe laughed nervously.

"Well.. every time I'd tease Karl or push his buttons, he'd just laugh"

She shook her head.

"Deep down, I just wanted to be grabbed without warning.. Put in my place and punished roughly"

Sophie's eyes widened.

"Oh god this would be hot.. me too" she giggled

"Seriously?" Chloe asked.

"Absolutely."

The confession seemed to unlock something.

A few more drinks disappeared.

The conversation became increasingly honest.

Increasingly devious.

Meanwhile, inside his tent, Jace lay staring at the canvas ceiling.

Sleep had become impossible..

Every word drifting through the thin walls had lodged itself in his mind.

Every giggle.

Every confession.

Every breathless admission.

He shouldn't have been listening.

But he had been.

And now, he couldn't stop..

--------

Back at the fire, Sophie lowered her voice.

"I've definitely thought about it a lot."

Chloe raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"I'd love to be firmly grabbed. Roughly handled.. with respect still of course, but most men don't seem to get it"

Chloe nodded, giggling..

"My imagination has admittedly been running wild tonight."

The wine had loosened her tongue.

She glanced toward the dark tree line.

"Being out here has brought up all kinds of fantasies."

Sophie leaned closer.

"What kind?"

Chloe laughed nervously.

"The sort that are.. maybe a little taboo."

"Go on."

She hesitated.

"Like being suddenly grabbed out in the woods."

Sophie inhaled sharply.

"Oh god."

"being bent over against a tree.."

A blush crept across Chloe's cheeks.

"Honestly that would be incredibly hot."

Sophie took another sip of her wine..

"Oh my god, yes."

"But do men like that even exist?" Sophie asked. "The kind you could actually trust to do that with?"

..........

Neither were aware of their voices and giggles travelling through the camp.. completely unaware of Jace lying entirely awake nearby.

Listening...

To

Every.

Single.

Word.

Jace's jaw tightened.

His hand clenched against the sleeping bag beneath him, his other hand grazing over the growing bulge straining against his pants..

He stifled back a deep groan...

He couldn't stop thinking about Chloe.

The way her voice softened, a certain neediness in her tone..

The way arousal was so clearly laced through her voice when she spoke..

The things she craved.

The things nobody had ever given her...

Closing his eyes only made things worse.

Her words replayed endlessly.

"I'd love to be firmly grabbed"

"Put in my place"

"Grabbed in the woods"

For years he'd known her as confident.

Playful.

Untouchable.

Tonight he'd glimpsed something else.

Something hidden beneath the surface..

And judging by the way she'd spoken about it,

She wanted someone to see it.

Wanted someone willing to challenge her.

Someone who wouldn't back down.

---------

Eventually Sophie yawned.

"I think I'm done."

She stood and stretched.

"You coming?"

Chloe shook her head,

"I might stay by the fire a little longer."

Sophie smirked knowingly.

"Still thinking about those fantasies?"

Chloe threw a pinecone at her.

Sophie laughed and disappeared into her tent.

Alone beside the fire, Chloe sat quietly.

The conversation replayed in her mind.. her pulse quickening.

Eventually she stood,

Deciding the fire needed more wood.

At least, that was the excuse she gave herself.

A few minutes later she found herself wandering toward the surrounding bushland, her mind entirely absorbed in her thoughts..

Jace heard her footsteps pass his tent.

Then silence.

He knew exactly who it was..

For several moments he remained still.

Fighting the urge....

Then he exhaled.

The battle was already lost.

Quietly unzipping his tent, he stepped into the cool night air.

Moonlight spilled across the campsite, the fire glowing faintly behind him.

Ahead, the dark bushland stretched into long shadows.

And somewhere within it was Chloe.

Alone.

His pulse quickened.

He moved through the darkness, guided by occasional sounds ahead.

Then he saw her.

Her silhouette beneath the moonlight.

She bent to pick up a fallen log.

His breath caught.

Without thinking, he stepped forward.

A branch cracked beneath his boot.

Chloe spun around and their eyes met.

For a moment neither spoke.

The silence felt charged.. dangerously charged.

Finally Jace broke it.

"Need a hand?" His voice sounded lower than usual.

More deliberate.

Something flickered across Chloe's face.

Surprise.

Curiosity.

Something else.

"Couldn't sleep?" she asked.

There was mischief in the question.

A challenge.

The same challenge she'd been throwing around the campfire all night.

Only now there was nobody else around.

Jace took a slow step closer.

Then another.

The distance between them began shrinking.

Immediately the atmosphere changed.

Chloe felt it.

The playful ease she'd always known with him seemed to disappear.

Something darker sat beneath the surface now.

Something she'd never noticed before.

Her breathing became slightly shallower.

For years she'd thought she knew exactly who Jace was.

Standing here beneath the moonlight, she wasn't so sure anymore.

And somehow...

That uncertainty was the most exciting thing she'd felt in a very long time.
